this is song is opn:s masterpiece. there is just so much force in this. its like the swan song of every being that has ever lived on earth, every civilisation that has come and passed, every mountain and every ruin that slowy is blown to dust, history of terran life that one day will come to an end
I’ve listened to this track every night to help me sleep for the last 5 years. Literally every night for the last five years. This track broke the game. I get heavy visions of blue mist, water, and ice with this track… If heaven has a song… ❤ 🔥 🛌 goodnight everyone
that sounds awesome! I didn’t really listen to music back when I got mine removed so I didn’t have anything for them to play during the surgery. In retrospect it would’ve been sick to get my teeth removed to some untilted-era autechre stuff
I honestly think this is one of the greatest pieces of music recorded this century. So much is done with so little - it's like one beautiful chord change stretched out by time dilation.
@@thesprawl2361 its irrational to come to the conclusion that this is the best simply because you found it therefore it must be. it may be the best feeling youve found which is great we all have different opinions i remember when i first heard "boring angel" its surreal but i found other tracks from aphex twin and recently rediscovered right where it belongs by nin theres a lot of great music and feelings but be aware how complex life is
Wow. Incredible. This is the kind of stuff I see when I sit down, put on the big headphones and have a spiritual session with myself. It's almost like my inner eye is being projected on UA-cam. Great job!
I wish Oneohtrix would go back to his new age ambient and drone. I don't know if he thought it was a dead end or his interests moved on from Replica onward, but there is much more to be explored.
Early 2011, when it was still cold out, I had an afternoon in NYC to wander around and I was obsessed with this track. I jammed my noise canceling in-ear headphones in, put this on repeat and walked around Midtown and Times Square with this blasting over and over. Seriously I doubt my feet touched the ground for a good hour or more.
Hi Steven, I am a young filmmaker working on my first project, actually entitled Physical Memory. It's the story of a computer that suddenly starts having flash backs to organic memory, and fleeting instances of human feeling. I was wondering if I could use the animation in your video for the film? You will receive credit of course.

I smoked dmt while listening to this song and it was one of the most overwhelming experiences of my life. It felt like I was dissolved and expanded across a huge distance and time, then very slowly reintegrated back into my consciousness. It was like a wave spreading across a flat beach and then being pulled back to the ocean. It scared the shit out of me tbh, but this song is still incredible
Is that the Microsoft Windows NT startup sound? Also on my channel it says "An error occurred. Please try again." and I have 0 subscribers. UA-cam scares me.
The melody only really emerges about five minutes in - up until then it's just hints of it. But you need to rechannel your melodic expectations with this: the melody is just as beautiful as, say, Perfect Day, or A Day In The Life, it's just enormously more subtle and stretched out.
@@thesprawl2361 I actually like the first 5 minutes more than I do the rest of the song, i only find it hard to process if i skip to points in it. >it's just enormously more subtle and stretched out. yeah, i agree. it's like, to fully appreciate it, you have to listen to it in its full context, its arc is only detectable if you invest yourself into it.
it evokes those images through which other dimensions can be seen, the feeling that stands behind it, stands on the periphery of vision, noticed, draws in, into the wonderful beauty of re-remembering everything and recognizing that which has never been forgotten...melting, merging
I heard this on some shitty magazine free CD compilation and I've been haunted by it ever since. I've listened to some of his other stuff and none of it has struck me as half as interesting or beautiful or elegant.
I think of this song as just death. its just simple and easy. obviously there's the physical death, but this song comes to my mind when you're "thinking about nothing" and your body just sort of stops receiving commands. it's like a kind of felt response of solipsism, or just having any kind of human will extracted from you. This song to me represents the highest bad, which death isn't, but the living death is. that feeling where you can no longer move but are still conscious, I guess like being buried alive. To me it represents what's left in the wake of a hedonistic existence, which is a void of meaning. and I think the feeling of that void of meaning which this song represents is so widely applicable and shows up all over the place, that I always find myself back here. it's not dying or being dead, it's just a spiritual death, a lack of humanity where it should be. In layman's terms, this song has "thousand yard stare" energy. where its not that you are dead, but in your mind its like someone pulled the plug, and there's no power going to the system with which you can move around and do human things. I think I just said the same thing 8 times. Anyway, this song resonates on a crazy level, just has a transcendent feeling of dread to it.
my favorite song ever made and one of the best songs ever recorded, unreal on new levels and broke the rules for what i considered music could be - shaped me...
this music made me take a short break from throwing car batteries in the ocean

for some funny reason, this track has a mental healing effect. stunning.
This is the music you'd hear wandering around the void as a fresh spirit.
Why would a fresh spirit wander around the void?
@@kbprojekty to sightsee.
there is no comment whether on the internet or the real life that has resonated more with me
The spirits are disembodied initially, and they roam around for a short while before actualizing into anything concrete.

This music helped me thru my senior year in HS. When I got anxious, this reminded me that it's just a physical memory.

Lucky ass mf
This piece is DMT.
Psychodelic and meditative sound, this and Stress Waves. Transcendental
stay still, let the world go through u
And Ouroboros, too.
And Describing Bodies!
Is that the Microsoft Windows NT startup sound?
Also on my channel it says "An error occurred. Please try again." and I have 0 subscribers. UA-cam scares me.
I want this played at my memorial service
my friend said this just sounds like white noise. wish i could convince him to listen to it intently because it really rewards you when you do.

this music should have been used for "the congress" imo
I heard this on some shitty magazine free CD compilation and I've been haunted by it ever since. I've listened to some of his other stuff and none of it has struck me as half as interesting or beautiful or elegant.
''Gray Level Objects Describing Biolayers'' has a similar vibe, ''When I Get Back from New York'' and ''Stress Waves'' too are in a similar style.
Probably one of the very best tracks from OPN, absolutely hypnotic

Outstanding visuals!
A soul of a man has turned by the computer into a physcal memory to be the short brainvolume vouage for our eyes and ears )
I listen to this on my own. It's soothing. It's just for me. It's an education on evocative layers and the texture of those layers.
One of the upward bits reminds me of Chrono Trigger.
incrível, já faz 10 anos, mesma sensação 🥺💖⚘
I don't know what this fan video is but it's awesome.
Best combination of visuals and music I’ve seen on an OPN so far. Every Rifts song is like a soundtrack to analog video art sequence really
This video is purely beautiful. Can you answer the questions from Phalanx and sheatheman? I really want to know how this was made, too.

Beautiful I also thought I got a little brainwashed but that's ok

I can't feel anything
close your eyes, in the beginning I felt. You might feel it too :)
really good video. what is a prism mirror? is it the filter that is causing the image to be reflected symmetrically across?
I heard/seen this +35yrs ago.

This reminds me of the soundtrack for Traffic.
it reminds me of robert fripp. great sound!
Puts me in the mind of a Ray Bradbury short story "Here There Be Tygers"
a true masterpiece, this song contains sounds that give me nostalgia for afterschool cartoons like Duck Tales, Garfield & Friends, or Tailspin.
